Newcastle Revisited

For my return to Newcastle, I again used the buildings and landmarks that caught my eye. Of course many of these had featured in my first composition and because of the strength of the riverside views, I again created an imaginary scene looking north across Quayside. Anyway the result is still different and will hopefully prove as popular as my first work. In the picture you can see the main central bridges, but Tynemouth appears upstream beyond the cranes of Wallsend! Talking of the Wall, this receives prominence including Carpenters Tower, as does the Castle and the two cathedrals. The classical offices of Quayside contrast dramatically with the naval architecture of the HMS Newcastle, on one of her regular visits to the city. Many other familiar buildings appear as does the new Millennium Centre for life.
